The Netflix/Blockbuster Movie Rental Thread
 
My Netflix queue is getting a bit light so was curious if anyone could offer up some recommendations on movies.

Just throw em out there, if I haven't seen or don't own, may just add.

I could name a few, but it's way easier for both of us to just go to my imdb page. http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=...verse_uservote
9s are must-sees, 8 are really recommendable if it seems like your genre. 7 is pretty good.

The Killing
The Maltese Falcon

I haven't seen An Unreasonable Man so can't say, but I hear its a good look at Nader.

Cary Grant is superb in so many films. Haven't seen Holiday(1938) but he's good in:
North By Northwest
Notorious
Arsenic and Old Lace
The Philadelphia Story
His Girl Friday
To Catch A Thief(I bought this not knowing anything bout it, was ok but not a Hitchcock best by any means)

I Haven't seen much of his 1930's films and am only thinking about seeing Gunga din, but I heard he acted horribly in it.

I haven't seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but here's 2 I recommend:

Outsourced.
Im Juli.

Seth did probably pick the two best, though I definitely have the softest spot in my heart for Wet Hot American Summer. The humor might not be for everyone, but I think it's one of the funniest movies I've seen.
